Mentorship Program
We encourage students to continously improve themselves and venture in other skills through mentoring program so they can be equipped with knowledge in various areas in the STEM field. The mentoring program aims to motivate and empower students, and help them resolving and reaching goals.
Mentoring is about creating a trusting and meaningful relationship
AUT’s Faculty of Design & Creative Technologies is supportive of its female tech students as the ratio of females studying engineering and computer science is low. Providing a mentoring programme supports this minority group; academics and industry professionals have volunteered their time and commitment to ensure AUT’s female tech students are supported.
